At the UCI Road World Championships in Rwanda, British cyclist Harry Hudson won the junior road race.
Hudson, 18, beaten by France’s Johan Blanc (16 seconds), followed by Poland’s Jan Michal Jackowiak, who was third.
Hudson, a known good climber, completed the 119.3 km circuit in warm weather in two hours, 55 minutes, and 19 seconds, with team-mates Max Hinds and Matthew Peace in fourth and fifth, respectively.
Afterward, Hudson remarked, “I thought I was going to get caught like a lap before or something, I was really suffering on the final climb.”
I believe there was a Frenchman behind [me], but I was able to avoid him.
UCI’s homage to Muriel Furrer
The UCI, cycling’s world-governing body, announced that the number 84 will be eliminated from the women’s junior road worlds.
Muriel Furrer, who was killed in a head injury in a crash at the women’s junior road race in Switzerland a year ago, was given the award.
Furrer had crashed, but the organizers didn’t realize until a course marshal discovered him about an hour and a half later.
The Zurich Public Prosecutor’s office is still conducting an investigation into Furrer’s death.
The office has been contacted by BBC Sport for comment.
The loss of Muriel Furrer, a promising young rider with a promising future ahead of her, occurred at our UCI Road and Para-cycling Road World Championships last year, leaving a trail of mourning over the event and the cycling community as a whole.
Our thoughts remain with her, her loved ones, and her Federation, Swiss Cycling, one year later to this day.

Cole Palmer, a Chelsea midfielder, will be out for up to three weeks as he recovers from a persistent groin injury.
After the issue resurfaced during the shortened two-week pre-season following Chelsea’s win of the Club World Cup in July, Palmer was forced to leave in the first half of last weekend’s defeat at Manchester United.
Before the October international break, Enzo Maresca’s side square off against Benfica and Brighton in the Premier League and Jose Mourinho’s side in the Champions League.
“Yes, we made the decision to protect a little bit of Cole in order to prevent his injury from worsening,” said Maresca.
We made the decision to rest him until the following international break in order to see if he can fully recover and be in good health afterward.
Palmer missed England’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia earlier this month because he has only started three of Chelsea’s seven matches so far this season.
Five days after the Three Lions’ friendly against Wales on October 9 will take them to Latvia for a World Cup qualifying match.

Nikki Sanderson, a Hollyoaks star, was shocked after cutting her chin open after falling off her treadmill. She was then taken to the hospital to treat her serious injuries.
Hollyoaks star Nikki Sanderson was rushed to hospital after suffering a serious accident during a workout on her treadmill. The 41 year old soap star, who first found fame while on Coronation Street back in 1999, fell off her treadmill at full speed causing serious injuries to her face and body.
Nikki shared the moment “several layers of skin” was ripped from her body on Instagram and at one point, fans saw blood dripping down from her chin.
According to the popular star who is currently dating fellow Hollyoaks actor Anthony Quinlan, she lost her footing on the exercise equipment and smashed her face on the walking pad.
She said, “TW (trigger warning) Epic treadmill fail… this one hurts wait for it… A trip to the hospital with one glued chin and several layers of skin completely removed from my arms and knees,” moving closer to the camera to give fans a no-holds-barred shot. Children, please don’t try this at home. Take a look at…”
She continued, “It was entirely my own stupidity, not the treadmill’s.” #epicfail #treadmill #instagramvsreality #funnyvideos #funnyreel #explore
Her boyfriend Anthony made light of the situation by saying, “Awww… bless you.” I’m so divided about watching this because it’s funny but I don’t want to see you hurt.
What were you thinking, and is the treadmill okay, her co-star Jessica Fox said? Lucy Jo Hudson, the actress, remarked, “Oh s**t nik! I initially began to wet myself, but “Jesus must have hurt x”!”
In the brief video, Nikki jumps up and places both feet on either side of the moving walking pad while casually exercising.
But she completely lost her balance and failed to control herself, striking her face on the walking pad as she attempted to turn to the side and continue walking.
One fan eluded the comment section and wrote, “I feel your pain, I once did the exact same thing running at home with patio doors open at night, couldn’t see anything, and it flipped me into a pancake back of kitchen [laughing emojis] it looked like I had been in a crash xxxx.”
At least you showed us some humor, another fan wrote. When Nikki responded to the post, Nikki said, “Love a good epic fails… even when it’s me]laughing emoji]”.
Her strict exercise regimen, which she recently showed off in a bikini snap, has undoubtedly helped her.
And fans flocked to the platform to post congratulatory remarks, with one user calling her post “unreal” and another.
After playing Maxine Minniver for 12 years, Nikki left Hollyoaks earlier this year. Her main character had compelling stories, including those about miscarriage and domestic violence.
She recently told the Liverpool Echo, “It’s the weirdest feeling because it’s the end of an era,” when describing her departure from the soap. It’s both very exciting and very depressing. How I feel about it is beyond me. It will be a lot different, and I’m starting to get used to it, I suppose. For me right now, this is a different normal.
According to reports, Nikki made the decision to leave the TV show after turning 40, a milestone for the TV star.
She met with her bosses and informed them of her leave date, according to a source who spoke to The Sun. She had just turned 40 and thought it was time to say goodbye to Maxine. She is eager to look into other opportunities and “get back out there.”
Along with her career choice, Nikki’s three- and-a-half year relationship with Anthony seems to be growing stronger.

She recently stated, “I don’t like talking too much about my personal life, but I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, Anthony is incredible. Let’s see what the future holds because my relationship is wonderful and happy. Anthony is truly my rock, and he has been incredibly patient with me as I made the difficult choice to leave Hollyoaks.
